This Week's New Books

There are so many new "Look at my new books!" memes that I'm having troubles choosing. I know a few of the hosts personally and I don't feel like picking teams on this one. So, I introduce my own conglomeration of all the memes out there! If you're hosting a similar meme or if one of your friends hosts one, let me know and I'll add their graphic (:

Okay so maybe being on a ban isn't that easy. I went on a trip with my boyfriend yesterday to the city I'll be moving to in a few months and he kind of forced me into the book stores (how awful when that happens!). The Charlaine Harris is a gift from him, and the Terry Pratchett one I bought myself. They're both from series I already own, so I don't have to feel bad about starting a new series again ^^

Click on the covers to go to their Goodreads page.

Gifted:

I'm currently rereading this series and still loving it! I'm at book three right now, the furthest I've come was book four a few years ago. I hope I'll like the last few books, the reviews have been rather aggressive..

Bought:

I absolutely love the crazy Discworld books Terry Pratchett has written, and I'm collecting his books now. That should keep me occupied for a while!

So what do you have in your mailbox, on your shelf or to showcase? Leave a comment with your link so I can visit you back!

I read my first Discworld book a few months ago after borrowing one from a friend. I really enjoyed it, in fact I have another that I recently borrowed lined up on my TBR pile! I haven't read any Charlaine Harris, but I think my brother has read that series and I remember him saying he enjoyed it. Happy reading!

Book bans are hard, especially when someone takes you into a store, I said I wasn't going to buy anything this month, but I just happened to walk into one with my mom yesterday lol. I hope you enjoy them :)

I do like the Sookie Stackhouse series. I am also a fan of True Blood. I don't get HBO so I am always eager when the new season comes out on DVD. Season 4 is sitting next to me right now. My new book posts are here and here. Happy reading!

Sookie Stackhouse series is amazing! But the last books are of course not as good as the first. I think when a series gets this long, it just can't be helped! A character can only go through so much ya know? BUT I still enjoyed Dead Reckoning and I look forward to the next installment! Enjoy :)

I'm in the process of collecting Terry Pratchett's Discworld series too, trawling charity stores and buying used books off amazon! I've only read a few but found them hilarious and love them! Happy Reading :)

Last year, one of my friends leant me the first in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I pretty much chain read them until I'd powered through the first 10! I know that a lot of people don't rate them but I couldn't help but read them compulsively! Which reminds me that I need to get to the most recent :)

Yeah, very true. I also read the Laurell K Hamilton series (Anita Blake) and I'm on book 8 now and you just feel that at some point a series just has to stop. But I'm not one to give up on characters I grow attached to, so I'll just stick with it (:

They're great! She has two series, the Sookie Stackhouse ones (paranormal) and a mystery one. I own the paranormal series (up to book 11) and they're extremely addicting. They usually also contain a fair amount of mystery too, so I think you might like them (:

I haven't read much of Terry Pratchett's yet (he has written so many!), but I'm glad to hear his YA ones are good too (:

It makes me a bit sad that the Sookie books get downhill from 6, because I really do like Eric. But yeah, I never thought Ms Harris would let her end up with him, I guess they're just too different. I will heed your advice though, and watch some more TB :D
